which farmers raise now on which they
can realize large profit. A bushel of
| potatoes is worth considerably more than
| a bushel OF wheat.
FRED EGGERT has been appointed
special policeman. Fred has muscle and
| grit enough to be terror to evil doors
and has good judgement so that he will
not abuse his authority.
KREss is violating all the the time hon.
| ored principles of an impecunious pro-
fesion. His latest onslaught is the pur-
chase of g. horse The local editor who
| can afford to keep horse is out of place.

The Goodrich boats are crowded with
| freight. The clerical force at the depot
are working almost every night and the
warehouse is so crowded that freight
from the Corona cannot be unloaded un-
| til the steamers running south have re-
Ieved the stress.
THERE is probability that the railroad

ing house at the depot will then be dis
continued. At first the intention was to
build an eating house, but the new move
| ment, If carried out, will make an eating
house unnecessary.
